Trap 1: Vinegar Fly Trap The first trap we'll make uses vinegar, and it's particularly effective in catching common flies. Here's how to create the trap:

2. Fill the bottle with 1/2 cup of water.

3. Add 1/2 cup of 5% acidity vinegar to the bottle.

4. Mix in 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap.

5. Stir the solution well with a spoon.

6. Invert the cut top part of the bottle and place it on top, creating a lid with a small opening for flies to enter.

Place the trap in the desired location, and watch as the flies are lured in but find it difficult to escape. After a few days, you'll see impressive results as the trap catches numerous flies.

Trap 2: Yeast Fly Trap The second trap utilizes active dry yeast, and it works wonders in catching fruit flies. Here's how to make it:

1. Prepare two plastic bottles by adding warm water (heated to 110 degrees Fahrenheit) to each.

2. Add active dry yeast to one of the bottles, following the package instructions.

3. Mix in four tablespoons of sugar to activate the yeast.

4. Cut the top part of the second bottle and place it upside down on the bottle with the yeast mixture, creating a trap with an opening at the top.

Position this trap in a suitable location, and within a few days, you'll witness an impressive collection of fruit flies caught inside.
